The 100 Million Trees Project
The Hodson Bay Group is contributing to the 100 Million Trees Project by planting trees at Yew Point, Hodson Bay. This national initiative, led by the Mulcahy siblings, aims to plant 100 million native Irish trees across Ireland using the Miyawaki method, a dense planting technique that accelerates growth, enhances biodiversity, and creates rapid carbon sinks. By supporting this project, the Hodson Bay Group is planting 5,000 trees, helping to restore Ireland’s biodiversity and combat environmental degradation.

YEW POINT AT HODSON BAY IS A PRIVATE TERRAIN
MANAGED BY HODSON BAY GROUP
Access is strictly restricted to individuals who have completed the registration process and received their access cards from the Reception Desk at the Hodson Bay Leisure Centre Reception.
We have created a looped trail, which includes some lakeshore access and a fairy trail for children.
The work to date including maintenance of the grounds and ensuring the native indigenous woodland and wildlife species are preserved and protected has been funded by The Hodson Bay Group.
Due to the special nature of this area, we have to manage numbers on the walkway at any one time.
As this is a lakeshore trail, there are plenty of our flying friends about, if you don’t want too much company at certain times of year, insect repelant can be helpful.
